It appears to have been painted in something close to the modern Israeli color which is a tan green. Vellejo calls this color both Hemp and Sanai Grey 87 (Vellejo 71023). But the color depends on when it is in use. When first put into service, it would have been painted IDF Sinai Grey 82 (Vellejo 71142).

I’ve been quite happy with mix of Model Master SAC Bomber Tan and Header White. It looks the part.
Alternately Humbrol Khaki Drill 72 is almost a perfect match out of the bottle.
